A member asked:
Can liver disease symptoms go away if you quit alcohol?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Absolutely: There comes a time when the effects of alcohol can become irreversible. The liver can regenerate over and over, allowing for healing after cessation.

Yes and no: If liver disease is caused by alcohol and damage is still reversible, yes. Sometimes, if cirrhosis is severe enough, nothing will reverse it, and only treatment is transplant. If liver disease is caused by viral hepatitis, fatty liver, or any other cause, probably not.
